(Proverbs 8:7)
[When we are looking for general wisdom, we're looking for wisdom about the universe--the "meaning of life". The best way to come to know this for sure is by logic. Thankfully, we all can!]
I'm going after wisdom.
Wisdom is ordering something in one’s reason to its perfection.

I'm going after wisdom.
Wisdom is ordering something in one’s reason to its perfection.
(Someone who is wise about something knows how to make it work, fix it, understands its function, etc.--Wisdom is having an idea in your mind of how a thing would be if it were complete/mature.)
Its perfection also requires the origin of the thing's existence.
Its perfection also requires the origin of the thing's existence.
(The thing can't be perfect unless it exists, and things both natural, like seeds, and human, like medicine, have things they will naturally produce if uninhibited, based on what they are when they are made; a tree in the one case, and a healthy person in the other.)
Thus wisdom is ordering something in one’s reason to its origin and perfection.
Wisdom without particular qualification is ordering everything universally in one’s reason to its origin and perfection, rather than some particular thing.
Thus wisdom is ordering something in one’s reason to its origin and perfection.
Wisdom without particular qualification is ordering everything universally in one’s reason to its origin and perfection, rather than some particular thing.
(If someone is called "wise", and not wise about something specific, it means they are in general.)
Knowledge is ordering something in one’s reason to truth.
Knowledge is ordering something in one’s reason to truth.
(If you know something, it means your idea matches reality.)
Thus wisdom without particular qualification is knowledge of the origin and perfection of everything universally.
Thus wisdom without particular qualification is knowledge of the origin and perfection of everything universally.
Thus I am going to seek knowledge of the origin and perfection of everything universally.
(Well, that's a bit more ambitious than I'll manage, but trying for it is the fun part. Only God is truly wise in this sense.)
Knowledge is ordering something in one’s reason to truth, as distinguished from falsity.
Logic is the method of distinguishing truth from falsity in one’s reason.
Thus logic is the method of knowledge.
If one has the faculty of reason, one can use logic.
Every human has the faculty of reason.
Thus every human can use logic.
I will try my best to do so.

But for now, a comic!
